3. Initials as under, which will be n^adily recognized, are used to indicate 

 records where no details are given. In many cases such records will appear 

 under synonyms and not under the names now in use. 



Where no authority is given for a locality it will be understood that it is 

 recorded from niy own observations. Occasionally, to avoid confusion, I 

 have introduced my own initials (R. M. L.). By '' Handbook '" is meant 

 Hooker's Handhool- of the New Zealand Flora, and by '' MariiiaV Cheese- 

 man "s Manual of the New Zealand Flora. 



4. No doubt there are many localities still to be found for some species. 

 Some plants may be comparatively common which are recorded from only 

 one or two places. Where it is not definitely known that the plant is 

 widespread it is probably better to give exact habitats than make a vague 

 statement. The list will, I think, be found practically complete as regards 

 the Lvttelton Hills, but there will doubtless be a few omissions to be filled 

 in foi' tlie peninsula, particularly in the Cyperaceae and grasses. 



A good many varieties and a few critical species require closer 

 description and identification. It would, however, much increase the 

 length of this paper to deal with them, and it would, further, require 

 comparison with forms in other parts of New Zealand. This work lies 

 outside of the scope of the present article, but it may be hoped that this 

 discussion will be carried on subsequently by myself or some other botanist. 

 Anv collector of Banks Peninsula plants should have no difficulty in 

 identifying the plant referred to in my list. References will be found in 

 the list to plants requiring further investigation.
